    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance. I just wanted to add my voice to the Statement that has been given by the Senator for Nandi County and especially on the issue of the junior secondary schools. The Senator has raised pertinent issues that are in the public. The fear in our schools is that teachers were posted to teach in the junior secondary schools. We all know that teachers are trained in particular subjects. If one or two teachers are trained to take care of a whole class and there are a number of subjects that the pupils or students take, then the school is at a loss on who else should teach the subjects that are not taken by the one or two teachers that are posted in those schools. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the current challenge is that a teacher is posted to a junior secondary school. The teachers who are in that primary school keep off from teaching these pupils. That then leaves a gap because the pupils are unattended. This means that some pupils have not been attended to in a number of schools. Currently, the schools are waiting for Government to give direction. I support the Senator for Nandi County on the concerns that he has raised. They must be responded to by the Committee that you are going to commit this Statement to. Indeed, it is a challenge that we must attend to as a House."
